RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) -

Authorities on Long Island are dismissing drunken driving charges against a 21-year-old Brooklyn woman who was arrested after the car she was in plowed through a Huntington home. 

The Suffolk County District Attorney's office said the actual driver of the vehicle will be arraigned on a grand jury indictment Wednesday.

District Attorney Thomas Spota said their investigation -- based on medical evidence, witness statements and other proof -- determined that Sophia Anderson was not the driver in the May 28 crash.

Anderson suffered scrapes and bruises as the vehicle hurtled through the home, ending up in the backyard. An unidentified occupant in the vehicle was uninjured. Also unharmed were two sisters in their 90s who live in the house.

Anderson pleaded not guilty to DWI charges.
